How nice to think back on the good times...before we were saddled with the Queen of Wasilla. Great photo of you girlfriends. And Friday isn't complete without these messages from the Sec. Thanks for the smile.

Diva All right, a picture of Beanie! Nice picture of you guys too. I was just listening to Palin and it drives me crazy. My daughter in Law this morning E'd my wife and said my son would be home from Iraq in November and she was praying we weren't voting for Obama. He is our only chance but there is no way. The only question now is how they will steal this one. By the way, there is always next year. Go Cubbies!

Madam Secretary...don't worry about gramma. She'll be fine. At least her team made the playoffs. Mine has to wait until 2009 to play in a new stadium named after a bank (Citi) that's going bankrupt. You know what? How about another piggy-back ride? That's a whole lot better than watching the Cubs lose and Sarah Palin talk about Joe Sixpacks. Oh, and one more thing, tell your gramma that her and her friend Alicia look great in that photo.
